Alison Milner’s Formica coffee table

Alison Milner table

Alison Milner's coffee table draws inspiration from the 1950s and 1960s, deliberately selecting Formica as a material because of its association with that period. 

The design on the surface of the table top was designed by Alison and was custom printed by Formica. Its pattern based on the silhouettes of seaweed and flowers also looks looks very Fifties, reinforced by the retro shape of the table top and its tapered legs. 

This table costs £210 and is also available in a dot pattern.
